This Kinda Sucks.......

both me and my husband are sick.

This has happened only once before and life was HARD those few days.

Usually its either myself or him, but not both.

And this comes at a time when my 1 year old son is teething in the back of his mouth, my daughter being her energetic self and work/house duties still need to be done.

Sometimes, I wish we had a nanny and this is one of those times.

We just need some rest.

When one of us is sick, the other person takes the kids off somewhere so the house can be nice and quiet.

But I'm hopeful.

I'm hoping we overcome this soon.

Really soon.

Amex Update

Its late, I'm sleepy and I'm cold; but before I sing off for the night I wanted to share with you my Amex Goal and current balance.

As you know, I tried to keep the balance this time around at $400 with $500 being the max.

Its currently at $486.80 and I still need to get gas and my DH wants to get both cars washed as well.

Looks like I'll be busting my budget, but not by much..............hopefully.

I have 14 more days before the statement ends.......I can do this!

We'll that is all, everyone have a good night.

Its been 8 years.......

Its been 8 years since I met my husband........

8 loooooooong years..............

8 loooooooong, hard years.......................

8 loooooong, hard, grueling years................

8 looooooong, hard, grueling, tough years............

8 looooooong, hard, grueling, tough, intense years.........

Its been 8 years since I met my husband.........

8 glorious years...........

8 glorious, sincere years.....

8 glorious, sincere, kissy-kissy face years.......

8 glorious, sincere, kissy-kissy face, pet names years............

8 glorious, sincere, kissy-kissy face, pet name calling, warm-feeling years.....

And those years mixed together = 8 PERFECT years since I met my Husband!!

Cooking/Family Goals for November

In addition to finance and saving money, I created some cooking/family goals for this month as well.

Here are the things I would like to accomplish this month:

1. Make an apple pie from scratch.

2. Not get stressed out about having Thanksgiving at my home (Jesus be a Fence around me) :-)

3. Watch the Grinch, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Home Alone.

4. Have a day out with just my husband (kids will be with Grandma)

5. Decorate as a family for Christmas

6. Contiune to have family movie night, every Wednesday. This week it's Cars 2!

7. Finish up Christmas shopping.

That's about it. List looks good and I'm hoping for the best.

When Life Gives Lemons....Grab A Pepsi Instead.

Feels like it has been forever since I've written on here.

Life sure does get busy sometimes.

And when stress is added into life's business, then things can become almost unbearable.

One thing I've learned these past few days is to not stress out over situations.

Stress only makes things worse....

You cannot think straight, you get headaches, and you throw off the balance of the entire household.

I also have a habit of thinking the worse of everything, when it's all in my head.

Sometimes, my mind worries me something fierce!

Worry can and will kill a person and maybe I just need to let some things roll of my sleeve.

Now that things are good once again, its time for me to get back to my regularly scheduled program.....saving money.
